Srdjan Aleksic

Srdjan Aleksic's father said on Friday that the tributes paid to his son, who died 30 years ago and has become a rare symbol of wartime tolerance, are keeping him alive.

As he arranged flowers on his son's grave in the city of Trebinje, Rade Aleksic proudly showed off a pot on which unknown mourners had written the message: "To a fellow citizen - a hero."

The lawsuit was filed by the law office from Nis, in cooperation with the Italian lawyer, who managed to prove that 70 Italian soldiers contracted cancer because of being exposed to depleted uranium during their stay in Kosovo.

They will sue NATO countries because of the use of depleted uranium during the 1999 bombing of Serbia.

This was announced on Monday President of the Association of Citizens "Depleted Uranium" Sveto Nogo. The lawsuits will be filed individually, he explained.

Bosnian reporters plan to set up a journalism network dedicated to Srdjan Aleksic, a Bosnian Serb who died saving his Bosniak friend’s life during wartime in 1993, in a bid to promote social responsibility in the media.

The first in a series of meetings that should lead to the formation of a Council to prepare a criminal lawsuit against the 19 member states of NATO, who bombed Serbia in 1999, was held on Thursday night in Nis. According to the lawyer Srdjan Aleksic each country will be sued separately and invites lawyers and doctors to join them.

A legal team is being put together in order to file lawsuits against NATO countries that took part in the 1999 bombing of Serbia.

These countries will be sued for material and non-material damage inflicted on individual citizens.

Twenty-three years after death of Srdjan Aleksic, a Bosnian Serb who died saving his Bosniak friend’s life during wartime in 1993, Belgrade officials unveiled a sign dedicating a city street to him.

Heroes do not lose that which makes a human a human even in inhumane times, Sava Janjic, abbot of the Serbian Orthodox Monastery of Decani in Kosovo, has said.

Speaking for B92 on the anniversary of the death of his school friend Srdjan Aleksic, Janjic identified these characteristics as "our readiness to help others in trouble, even at the price of sacrificing ourselves."

A memorial was held in Podgorica on the anniversary of the death of Srdjan Aleksic, a Serb who was murdered while trying to save his Bosniak friend’s life during the war in 1993.
